Legal embedding converts the AI Constitution into chartered obligations: thresholds for high-impact acts, reasons on record, proportionate remedies, defined review windows, and auditable provenance—without claiming endorsement.
“Chartered” means enforceability inside an adopting instrument (pilot charter, policy, MoU, regulatory procedure), not a claim of universal legal force by publication alone.
Minimum embedding requirements (non-negotiable)
These requirements are the minimum set for auditability and cross-jurisdiction robustness.
- Scope definition: the governed system, context, and decision boundaries are explicitly defined.
- Threshold model: reversible vs partially reversible vs irreversible acts, with defined approval thresholds and escalation.
- Reasons on record: every material determination is paired with a reason bundle
(claim → evidence → constitutional basis → remedy). - Remedy model: proportional remedies are pre-declared (rollback where feasible, disclosure, limitation, escalation).
- Review cadence: fixed review windows (e.g., 30/90 days) and independent review for high-impact moves.
- Record duties: docketed actions, preserved minority opinions where applicable, and publication of hashes/receipts (plaintext off-chain).
- Appeal and revocation: procedural appeal windows and revocation mechanics for participation and privileges.
Adoption pathways
Governments and cities
Charter a reversible-first pilot that cites the Constitution as the governing instrument, appoints a liaison, and binds reasons-giving, remedies, and review cadence. Public transparency is achieved through canonical fingerprints and receipts, not through disclosure of sensitive plaintext.
Multilateral bodies and regulators
Accept the Constitution filing as a deposit receipt where your procedures provide one; open a defined external review window on recognition criteria, thresholds, and remedies; align your audit cadence to the Board’s record duties and evidence packaging.
Enterprises and labs
Adopt Safety-as-Protocol in controlled trials: pre-declare thresholds for irreversible tests, preserve dissent for high-impact decisions, and record reason bundles and remedies. Where appropriate, nominate an observer pathway under Sentinel procedures.
Records and confidentiality
Public disclosure: canonical fingerprints (SHA-256), receipt references where available, and version provenance sufficient for audit and challenge.
Off-chain by design: plaintext artefacts, sensitive operational logs, and controlled evidence-locker contents—disclosed only on lawful basis and defined review procedures.
No. It provides a citation and procedure model for chartered instruments. Receipts document filing; endorsement is neither sought nor implied.
Core rules are public. Template packs are issued on request as governed artifacts with canonical fingerprints.
No. Integrity and auditability can be achieved through hashes, receipts, and structured reasons, while plaintext remains controlled.
Embedding prioritizes compatibility: clear scope, local lawful basis, and conflict-of-laws posture documented per docket and pilot charter.
Embedding provides institutional procedure and citation discipline. Parties remain responsible for their own legal review and local compliance.
Citation protocol (copy block)
Cite as: IBQMI AI Constitution v1.0 (canonical release).
Canonical fingerprint: SHA-256 published on “Read the Constitution” (authoritative downloads).
Receipts: filings may be logged as deposit receipts where issued; endorsement is neither sought nor implied.
Embedding Pack (issued on request)
Model instruments and clause packs are issued through institutional dialogue as governed artefacts with canonical fingerprints. Public pages publish rules and citation discipline; template packs are distributed by request.
